Welcome everyone to our weekly roundup of the coming and goings of the Divine Nine and its members. And man, what a week it's been! And this week, I've decided to do something different. Instead of listing the news in the order of founding, which can get a bit boring fast, I'm going to list the news randomly. Hope you like it, and those of you who send me emails about it CAN STOP DOING THAT NOW! Just kidding…sort of… So here we go…

We begin with biggest news of the week as Kappa Eddie Long finds himself in a bit of a "pickle" over gay coersion allegations. Things are so bad that he cancelled an interview with Omega Tom Joyner… Gotta feelin' this ain't ending well…

Over on the musical side of things, you can understand how Zetas aren't particularly happy about being a derogatory lyric in Lil Wayne and Drake's duet titled, Gonorrhea. You can read the lyrics here.
